Multi-level software architecture design is an important issue in engineering. Several research studies

have been done on the modeling of multi-level architectures based UML. However, they neither included the

refinement between levels nor clarified relationships them. In this paper, we propose a multiscale

modeling approach for oriented to facilitate adaptability management.

The proposed founded UML notations and uses component diagrams. The diagrams

are submitted vertical horizontal transformations refinement; reach fine-grain

description that contains necessary details characterize architectural style. intermediate models

provide description with given abstraction allow validation be conducted significantly while

remaining tractable w.r.t. complexity. scope can involve intrinsic properties ensuring model

correctness specification. To achieve this, set model refinement rules. The

rules manage process (vertical horizontal) as transformation from

a coarse-grain fine-grain description. Finally, experimented our by an

Emergency Response Crisis Management System (ERCMS) case study.
